Conservatives: you explain why Michelle Bachmann took 250K in farm subsidies when she is "against" socialism?

Update:

Why is she accepting government handouts when she's so against them?

http://www.theweek.com/article/index/104483/Michel...

Update 2:

I noticed all the Republican arguments to explain her behavior are extremely weak.

Update 3:

last time I looked, a 1/4 million dollar farm subsidy is socialism.

    Number one she has no idea what socialism is and number two is that she is off her rocker, a few fries short of a happy meal, only has one oar in the water, is not hitting on all cylinders, has a screw loose, was brutally attacked by a brain sucker!

    300 million to La. 100 million to Dodd. 100 million to Ne. Pelosi took 54 million to "move" a train to serve the Napa Valley here. It just is a coincidence that her vineyard and hotel are there. At least Bachman is looking out for the farmers there.

    Lets see if that was over 11 years that works out to be a little over $22,00 a year and for a farmer ( her recently deceased father-in-law, BTW) to be able to grow in the coming year. It is a necessity for all people to eat.

    Pointing fingers without the whole truth. Typical?

    farm subsidies does not mean you are a socialist nor that you believe in socialism. Somtimes the government must help in certain areas. Such is the way of a Republic

    Farming literally is dependent upon the weather and is a very risky endeavor. Food is a requirement of life.

    A federal government debt burden of $33,000 per child ($11 trillion) and growing, more than half of which was created in the 1990s, even for children still in diapers? (this is on top of record foreign debt, debt of state & local government, and un-funded & off-budget items).

    It takes $40 million per hour, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year to pay the interest on federal government debt,
